This study proposes a potential device design for joint cartilage replacement. Silica‐polytetrahydrofuran (SiO2‐PolyTHF) hybrids with customizable mechanical properties were developed to mimic the characteristics of a natural meniscus. These were synthesized through a two‐pot sol–gel hybrid process.

Despite benefits to storage stability and handleability of aluminum scrap, octadecyl phosphonic acid (ODPA) SAMs reduce the tensile strength of wires produced using friction‐induced recycling. Etching and methyl diphosphonic acid (MDPA) coatings, however, have little effect.

Identification of Local Lubrication Regimes on Textured Surfaces by 3D Roughness Curvature Radius [PDF]
This paper proposes a new method of 3D roughness peaks curvature radius calculation and its application to tribological contact analysis as a characteristic signature of tribological contact.

Friction Modelling in Boundary Lubrication Considering the Effect of MoDTC and ZDDP in Engine Oils
A predictive friction model has been developed in boundary lubrication conditions to understand the sensitivity of the model to molybdenum dithiocarbamate (MoDTC), a friction modifying additive and zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP), an antiwear additive

Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Boundary mode frictional properties of engineered cartilaginous tissues [PDF]
Despite the fact that lubrication is a primary function of articular cartilage, there is little information on the frictional properties of cartilaginous engineered tissues.
